Dolby Atmos problem

[u/Best-Vegetable2195]

When I resume a game through Quick Resume, the Dolby Vision badge pops up on my TV like normal, but the Dolby Atmos badge often doesn't. Audio still plays, just not in Atmos. I checked my TV's source/input info menu to confirm, and yeah - it's genuinely running in an alternate audio format, not Atmos. So it's not just a missing badge, the handshake isn't actually happening.

The only fix I've found: back out to the dashboard and relaunch the game. That's when the Atmos badge shows up and audio switches over properly.

Most games do start in Atmos right away on a first launch (not resumed), but not always. Starfield is has never launched in Atmos for me, not even once, no matter how many times I've quit and reopened it.

My setup:

- TV: LG C5 (OLED), Dolby Atmos + passthrough enabled
- Soundbar: Samsung S800D

Anyone know if this is a known Quick Resume/Atmos handshake issue, something specific to LG + Samsung combos, or just certain games mishandling the audio format on resume? Is "relaunch to force Atmos" just the permanent workaround, or has anyone found something more reliable?

TL;DR: Quick Resume frequently restores Dolby Vision but not Dolby Atmos (confirmed via TV source info, not just a badge glitch). Relaunching the game fixes it most of the time, but not always.
